Hi I picked this snowblower up back in the summer for $25. The guy told me he had it on a 712 but I think the hitch is deffinitely wrong for a RBT. Just curious if anyone knows what this snowblower should fit. I know that one of the pulley brackets broke off if anyone notices that.
Also heres the 10Hp I picked up a few weeks ago. Thanks Paul or sliderxc from Simpletractors. It will hopefully be making it into my B210 soon.
Also heres my 7016 running it around in the snow breaking in the 16hp I just rebuilt for it lol.

I'm not as knowleadgable as some of the others here but that looks right to me, except like you said one of the pulleys is off. Also you have an extra horizontal support above where the hitch meets the front axle. So I guess there are a couple differences!! lol Plus, it does look like it might be set up for an 'external' clutch mechanism, as my hitch has the spring for tension, since the belt is always tight on this waiting for the PTO on the engine to engage, vs. the FDT that you move a lever to engage/disengage the clutch. So, you might be right!! Looks like an fdt to me!!! I need a nap... Below is the hitch for my RBT weedcutter that fits on my 7016.

Definitely a FDT hitch. It has the top coss link of a FDT hitch, as well as the spring loaded catches for the pulley cover, and the mounting holes for the engagement lever, which is missing. I wouldn't put it past the guy, to have had it on a 712. My last weedcutter came off a 7116, but had a FDT hitch. The guy didn't remove the engagement lever, he just bent it in, so it would hide under the hood, and behind the bumper.
Nice machine! |

| Thanks for the replys. I figured it was a fdt hitch that the guy cobbed on. I don't know how he even had it on because I can't for the life of me get it on my 7016 right. Anyone have the parts I would need to mount on a fdt? I wanted to run it on my 7016 but the whole hitch is probably hard to come by? |

| Hmmm...I've never done it, but someone will chine in if they have. The weedcutter hitches are slightly different, and that's the only one I've seen that accomodated both types of machine. |

| I was out working on the B210 today getting it ready for this snowblower. Hoping someone has the engagement rod that I need so I can put it to use soon. |

| We'll have to work on some pics and measurements for you. I don't have a blower at the house...might be the same as the engagement on my weedcutter though. Not sure when I can get back to ya on that. |

| I don't have a snowblower either, but I do have a weedcutter with a similair hitch. If no one with a snowblower responds I will get you some measurements tonight from the weedcutter, should be close to what you need. |

| What exactly do you need? Just the length of the engagement rod? Let me know specifics so I can try and get what you need. Will be going home in a bit.... |

| My engagement rod is 20 inches long with a roughly 1.5 ball on the end to grab on to. |

| Mine is short like Jon's as well. Funny thing, I have one from my blower, and one from my Weedcutter, and the only difference is the knob on the end. One is big and sort of oblong like a shifter konb on my Big Ten, the other small like a mid PTO lever knob or the hydro konb on my loader. |

Thanks guys. Could I possibly get a close up picture of the engagement rod and how it hooks to the idler pulley I guess. I have no idea at this point because the idler pulley is broke off the mount.

here's a few pics....the first shows the engagement rod attached to the egagement lever. The hitch setup is the same as your blower would be, for our purposes here.
here's several closeups I took to show the rod to the engagement, the angagement bar across the top of the hitch that you're missing, the adjustable link to the idler pulley, and the mount that the adjusted pulley swivels on and is attached to the hitch by.

| By the way, Jon, that spring in the center of my hitch stopped the rogue blade spin that we talked about before! I forgot to share that. I tried several off the shelf springs, and found one that was the PERFECT length and PERFECT tension to relieve the pulleys of all tension when disengaged. I'll figure out what spring it was and send you one... |
